In an era marked by broad economic uncertainty, mass layoffs, and high cost of living, a focus on resilience in the workplace has become paramount. What can employers do to foster employee resilience in the workplace? To answer this question, I reached out to Danielle King Jordan, a Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology and the Founder and Principal Investigator of the WorKing Resilience Research Lab at Rice University. Her research focuses on employee resilience and stigma, and organizational resources that support employee thriving. I asked Danielle what I think are the four most important questions to help guide employers as they seek to foster employee resilience in the workplace.
